Iron Maiden's Steve Harris Launching British Lion Tour

(Classic Rock) Steve Harris will tour with his solo project British Lion in July, including three UK shows at the beginning of the journey. The Iron Maiden mainman released his album in 2012, featuring vocalist Richard Taylor, guitarists David Hawkins and Grahame Leslie and drummer Simon Dawson.

His latest tour will culminate with an appearance at the International Motorcycle Convention in Portugal. Harris says: "As fans know, I have strong ties with the Portuguese Moto Clube through our mutual friend Manu DaSilva, now sadly departed, who for many years ran Maiden's Eddie's Bar in Santa Barbara de Nexe near Faro.

"The first ever British Lion show we played was in the Clubhouse itself. When they invited us back this year, to play at the same festival Maiden headlined in 2011 in memory of Manu, it provided the perfect opportunity to schedule a few shows beforehand."

And Harris is looking forward to the opportunity of playing in clubs again. Read what he had to say and grab the tour dates here.
